@Lord20262 What kind of libido is that?

[DariusDensel @dariusdensel_]

The blind sycophancy of ugandans in the comments supporting Muhoozi shows exactly why real progress remains stalled. When citizens cheer for a dynastic succession from a single family that has held power for four decades despite a dark history of forced disappearances, safe houses, massive corruption and torture they actively surrender their civic duty.

A progressive nation relies on its citizens to hold the government in check, demand accountability, and protect basic human rights. Defending generational rule doesn't build a stable country; it simply institutionalizes impunity and ensures the system never changes. Its honestly sad

@Lord_Mutuzo @Lmc_89 If she did it on her own,you can bet that a transfer to a place like 'Butaleja' and or 'Karenga' shall be the next Station of duty

@KwikirizaNova @JoelSsenyonyi The correct word is 'beseech.'

Mr Mugume it is! My apologies for the late response, I was in class.

Before I say anything else, I'd like to address the typo in my first post: "There’s no way you let yourself get respected" should have been "There’s no way you let yourself get DISrespected."

You asked for my point and here it is. Today you reported that Nation Media Group's owners committed to "patriotic, balanced and objective" journalism after meeting the CDF, Muhoozi. The man who sent soldiers to shut the newsrooms also was the one who supplied the official story of how the problem was resolved, and you published his version as ‘the news’. That is the problem with your method of reporting.

Your report did not mention that Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) both heavily condemned the shutdown of NTV and Daily Monitor. Muhoozi himself posted on X, in a since-deleted post: "In Uganda, I DO NOT believe in a free press!"

When soldiers close your colleagues' newsrooms and the man who ordered it is the one announcing changes in their organization, by repeating his words you are not practicing balanced journalism, you are only conforming to the status quo. And, to repeat myself, you are allowing yourself to be used as a puppet.

Let me ask you this:

What does it mean to be a journalist in Uganda if the terms under which you operate are dictated by the same army general who shut down the biggest media house in the country at will?

As a Grade-1 Magistrate, apart from attention-seeking & posturing, why would you write 20-page bail ruling & read it for an 1 hour in open court.

As an ex-political-prisoner, I can only imagine what Dr Miria Mirembe underwent last night. For many elite women in Uganda, it is shameful to go to prison - any prison, let alone Luzira Women Prison. The shame surrounding imprisonment is much worse for those who are role models, elders, authority figures, mothers, wives and those who are religious. It takes a lot of hard work on oneself to refuse the shame projected on prisoners.

The first day and night at Luzira is the worst experience for most women. The drive from court to prison is terrible. The fear of what will be done to them in prison, combines with worries about household dependents left back home. Entering the prison grounds is like entering a monster. The shame of totally undressing in order to change into a prison uniform breaks many adults. The mandatory demand to remove all underwear and spread the legs for inspection by prison wardresses totally humiliates the new prisoner. I witnessed many crying with shame at this point.

The ward one is assigned in Luzira Women’s Prison determines how the entire experience as a prisoner will proceed. Many loud political prisoners on remand are assigned to the notorious Ward 2 in order to subdue them. If they are perceived to be calmer and without need of taming, then they are assigned to Ward 1. If they are wealthy, they are assigned to Ward 5 where dealers go. If they are ill and wealthy, they might sleep in the Sick Bay with several prisoners who are either ill, pregnant or new mothers.

Entering the ward is a shock to all sensibilities! The congestion of women prisoners sitting jam-packed on the floor is terrorising. One is shoved inside. The doors are banged shut and locked from outside. One has to proceed through the stuffy ward in order to find a spot to sit. Often, there is space only next to the smelly squat toilets. Most prisoners without a personal mattress brought from home must sleep on the hard cement floor of the prison ward. A thin grey blanket is given, if available. Most prisoners without a bucket from home must bathe from the shared prison buckets. Most prisoners without food from home must sleep on an empty stomach and await porridge at about 10:00AM thebfolloqijg morning.

I wonder where Dr Miria Matembe slept last night. I wonder what she ate for supper last night. I wonder if she was able to bathe in the prison bathrooms last night. I wonder whether she was given an old or new prison uniform. I wonder whether she was given support for her painful back and shoulder.

In Museveni’s military dictatorship, prison is the second home of every critic! Rather than a shame, being a political prisoner is an honour. Yes, it is an honour to go to prison for questioning or criticising the failures and excesses of Uganda’s misrulers.

Duncan, while this might be understood from the angle of fear and avoidance of danger to self, I don’t think it takes away moral responsibility. In ethics, we usually don’t make moral attribution where an actor lacks freedom or knowledge. But, from a consequentialist perspective, if we say there is no freedom in the magistrate’s act and therefore no moral responsibility, the wider moral implications are absurd. A person who steals out of fear of poverty is also morally cleared. Another who eliminates a colleague who is likely to take their job is also not culpable. The list goes on. Sometimes giving a semblance of lack of freedom is simply a pronouncement that ‘between my benefit and harming an innocent person, I choose my benefit’. It is a false dilemma projected in defence of weak consciences. Presenting facilitators of violence as helpless victims simply serves to motivate more into such performance.

He was dying. And yet His thoughts turned to His mother.

No one else in history was chosen to be the Mother of the Son of God and to witness both His birth and His death.

Mary was there when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. She wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, laid Him in a manger, and held the child she knew was the promised Messiah.

Then, years later, she stood at the foot of the Cross as Jesus gave His life for the salvation of the world. Just as Simeon had foretold, a sword would pierce her soul. At Calvary, that prophecy was fulfilled. (Luke 2:35)

This was part of God's plan.

From the moment Mary said yes to God's will until Jesus' final breath on the Cross, she remained faithful. She stayed with Him through the joy and through the suffering.

Then Jesus said something that still matters today:

“Behold, your mother.” (John 19:27)

The Catholic Church has always understood these words to have a deeper meaning. Jesus was caring for His Mother, but He was also giving her to the beloved disciple, whom the Church has long understood to represent everyone who follows Christ. That is why Catholics love Mary so deeply. She never takes our place before Jesus. She always leads us closer to Him.

💬 What do you think Jesus wanted His followers to understand when He said, “Behold, your mother”?

If this moved you, someone in your life needs to hear it today..

Was it #PLU or @GovUganda that took the action to close the two media houses? Or maybe let us know if the @NRMOnline that Ugandans elected on 15th January 2026 is no more, and we just settle down.

Last week, Hon. Miria Matembe sat in front of a camera and did the thing that fewer and fewer people in this country are willing to do anymore. She called out Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

She said he was arrogant, proud, and had no humanity in him. She said he was a nobody, not as an insult, but as a simple fact she explained as follows: when Museveni took power, Muhoozi was a boy of about eleven or twelve. Everything he has ever had, the house, the soldiers, the basement he brags about, belongs to Uganda. He has been on a silver plate throughout. He walked in on a red carpet forty years ago through his father's title, has depended on Uganda's resources ever since, and because he has never lacked, has never suffered, he gained an arrogance that makes him respect nobody.

She also said she was not afraid of him. "How can I fear death," she said, "because death will happen to me whether I like it or not. So there is no way I can fear death." Then she asked the question she clearly intended as a statement: "Why should I sit here in this house and keep quiet?"

Shortly thereafter, Muhoozi sent military men to her house. She was out on her morning walk when they arrived. Her husband answered for her. The men searched through the rooms of a home belonging to a woman who helped write the constitution of this country, found she was not there, and left without a word of explanation to anyone. Her family stood in that house shaking in fear after they were gone. She has not been seen since, and yesterday, the villain in this story confirmed he has her.

Muhoozi said: "I have the power in Uganda to shut down ANY media house I want to. I have had this power since 2017. This power was given to me by my great father".

He didn't cite a law. He didn't cite the Constitution. He cited his father. Soldiers then enforced his tweet.

If power is inherited and tweets are law, what's the point of Parliament?

Someone, please give us the list of the hundreds of Gen Museveni’s political detainees, the missing and the dead. Museveni has the biggest number of political detainees in Africa.

Harold Kaija stood up at the UHRC torture dialogue and said: "Sam Mugumya can't even walk. Lukwago is at Mulago Hospital—not by choice." UHRC blocked him. Silenced him. Told him to stop naming victims.

A commission meant to protect human rights is now protecting the regime from embarrassment.
